Stabilizers
Generally surfactants are used as stabilizers to reduce high surface free energy of nanosized particles.
Generally used stabilizers are-
  • Cellulosic
  • Poloxamers 184, 188, 338, 407
  • Poloxamine 908
  • Polysorbates 20, 40, 60, 80
  • Lecithins
  • Cremophor EZ and RS 40
  • Polyoxyethylene lauryl ether
  • Povidones
  • Lecithin is stabilizer of choice for parenteral preparations.

2. Extensive literature survey:

Image
Once the problem is formulated, a brief summary of it should be written down. It is compulsory for a research worker writing a thesis for a Ph.D. degree to write a synopsis of the topic and submit it to the necessary Committee or the Research Board for approval.   At this juncture the researcher should undertake extensive literature survey connected with the problem. For this purpose, the abstracting and indexing journals and published or unpublished bibliographies are the first place to go to. Academic journals, conference proceedings, government reports, books etc., must be tapped depending on the nature of the problem. In this process, it should be remembered that one source will lead to another. The earlier studies, if any, which are similar to the study in hand, should be carefully studied. A good library will be a great help to the researcher at this stage.

PREPARATION OF HOSPITAL FORMULARY

Image
PREPARATION OF FORMULARY ·          Formulation is an essential part of hospital pharmacy. ·          It has been a focal point for improving drug therapy in hospitals. ·          Effectiveness of formulary system depends on the abilities of the pharmacist involved with it. ·          Although the majority of formulary decisions are made by Pharmacy and Therapeutic Committee but well planned system provides both structure and flexibility and encompasses both selection of drugs and criteria for drug use. ·          These special features allow for standardization to reduce errors, wastage and required personnel time. Advantage: ·          To discourage the use of “less than optimal drug therapy”, and ·     ...
